THE Chairman of Ado Local Government Area l of Benue State, Chief James Oche, has accused the Ebonyi State Government of allegedly inciting and sponsoring Ngbo community in Ohaukwu Local Government Area of Ebonyi against the people of his council. According to the statement issued and made available to journalists in Makurdi at the weekend, Oche said that such incitement was capable of making the people of Agila community in Benue State vulnerable to attack. Oche said that Ebonyi state had continued to tell the public that Agila community was responsible for the April 12, 2021 attack on Ngbo community in Ohaukwu Local Government of Ebony state, a development the chairman described as unfounded and very inciting. He said Ebonyi State Government should be held responsible if any Agila person was attacked henceforth. “I wondered why the Ebonyi State Government was hell bent on accusing my people.
